Katie Hopkins has been advised by police to beef up security in her home due to concerns over the number of death threats that she receives.

With opinions on everything ranging from benefits to mental health and obesity, the acerbic rent-a-gob has made more than a few enemies since being catapulted into the limelight after appearing as a contestant on the third series of The Apprentice back in 2007.

Now, the 50-year-old has chosen to act on police advice following death threats and had a panic button fitted in the home she shares in Exeter with husband Mark, 50, and their three children Max, six, India, ten, and Poppy, nine.

Revealing her plight to the Daily Star, she said: ‘Our house is rigged up to the local police station – that’s just my life I suppose.’

Adding: ‘My children are somewhat isolated from it. They don’t have iPads and they don’t have phones. My parents aren’t a part of it at all either. They don’t go on Twitter. I just send them clips of me looking fairly all right.’
